There are lots of things that happen in my neighborhood and I have no idea why.  I took a nap and when I woke up, I thought I hear a really loud storm come through the area but nope – it was someone watering the plant bed below from the 5th floor across the way.

After realizing this was an actual employee because of the uniform, I started wondering if they were going to pay the people in the apartment for the use of their water or if they had a water tank with them.

There are things that happen in China that I just don’t get like watering from the 5th floor of an apartment when we have spigots below.  It also happens to be ranging from -5 to 7 degree C so maybe they decided to water from above because of the pipe bursting issue but then you need to wonder why water at all when the plants are all dormant now…

I did screw up last week.  I thought that the recycling and such would all be together because I have not seen a separate recycling bin near us.  I threw all the recycling in the normal waste bin.  It turns out that there is a day where all the recycling is picked up.  I was wondering why the cleaning lady kept piling all of the recycling together.  What I did not realize was that the old people in the building tie up all the recycling into these bundles – interesting no?

The guy picks it up and converses with people for about a half hour and then goes off to the next place.
